Spanish term or phrase: quiebres
THis word of course means break or fracture, but I am wondering what term is best in the context of tax policy. Text by Argentine economists about tax policy for sugary drinks:

Los mínimos exentos, no imponibles y tramos generan quiebres y discontinuidades en las alícuotas.... La Tabla 2 refleja las concentraciones en las que se producen los quiebres más importantes.

quiebre/s
loophole/s


Explanation:
en las alícuotas : Arg. in the tax rates / West.

Tax gap means something else, namely mismatch between tax rate set and tax collected, but gaps in the plural might work.

los quiebres más importantes : the biggest loopholes.

Discontinuidades: pace Phil G. again, means discrepancies in time or rate.

'In my country or countries, depending on which team wins the international soccer match', quiebre is a virtual-synonym - NB never a seamless one - for quebtanto or quiebra.

  • While such arrangements may be strictly legal, they are not following the spirit of the lawand the intentof legislators, exploiting for instance loopholes and mismatches in the international tax framework.
